The Arts Council held an exhibition of War Artists' works in autumn 1946. This exhibition showed the works of artists done during the war but whose inclinations and abilities lay other than with recording the second world war. Works include those by Duncan Grant, Laurence Gowing, Paul Nash, Augustus John etc. Where the works were for sale, the asking prices are given. Slim 8vo.
